Legislation

Registered Professional Planner is a protected title under Alberta’s Professional and Occupational Associations Registration Act [pdf] and Professional Planner Regulation [pdf]. This means that to call yourself a Registered Professional Planner or RPP, you must be a certified and registered member of the Alberta Professional Planners Institute (APPI).

What You Need

For official, detailed information about registration requirements, contact the APPI.

Working in Alberta

Community planners who are registered and in good standing with a regulatory organization elsewhere in Canada may be eligible for registration in Alberta if registered community planners in the two jurisdictions have equivalent    competencies. For more information, see What if I am already certified in another province or territory in Canada? and the APPI website.

The certification information in this profile may change at any time and without notice. Before making any career decisions, we advise you to contact the regulatory organization or visit their website for the most updated information.
